Default EG or EK springs under EG2 del Sol

Hi,

I have a del Sol VTi (US VTEC) which I bought with Koni Sport shocks and Eibach Pro-Kit springs. I don't know how old my springs are but I assume they must be old/worn because my car sits so low that I can't even normally put my fingers between the front fender and the tire.

On good roads it handles amazing and the car is very stable, however, when I drive in the city I can barely go over speedbumps without scratching the resonator or destroying my mudflaps. Also when I'm driving down/out of the parking garage it even rubs my tires.

I was gonna buy coilovers and be done with this height issue but I realized it might be just a waste of money as I would not adjust them all the time and my Koni Sport shocks are very good.
So I have to replace my springs and it might sound silly but I would buy Eibach Pro-Kit springs again. I know they are good springs for spirited/daily driving. BUT Eibach made these springs for the Civics, either EG or EK, and not for del Sols. If I had the S model(then I would be sad because it's slow :D) then I would just buy the EG springs because the S is about the same weight as the 5gen Civic. However, the VTi (VTEC) is the heaviest of them all, it is 200 pounds heavier than the S model.!

Which springs should I go for? As far as I know EG and EK springs are the same size and either would fit my car. What do you suggest? Does anyone have a picture of an EG2 on Pro-Kit springs?

What perch height is the spring seat on? You may be able to raise it up slightly and save money...

they are on the highest perches both front and back. I don't mind buying a new set as long as it's good, I just would like to avoid buying twice.
